Work Trip with RC F Track Edition Results in Cool Faux Commercial
Limited-edition 2020 RC F Track Edition receives the ad it’ll likely never get in real life from pro videographer.
The RC F is one of Lexus’s baddest machines in the portfolio. The 5.0-liter V8’s 467 horses and 389 lb.-ft of torque is nothing to sneeze at. Not that the common cold could knock back the hefty heavyweight, as the high-performance machine weighs around 4,000 pounds for the 2020 model year.
Remove around 121 pounds and tune the V8, though, and you’ll have the 2020 RC F Track Edition. The limited-edition RC F (of which 50 will be available in the United States, per Car and Driver) adds more performance to the luxury, resulting in a Lexus that is ready to tear it up wherever it goes. It is on this premise that we have this amazing video from YouTuber and professional videographer Matthew Nguyen.
“This work trip led us to Palm Springs for Lexus’ new 2020 Lexus RC F: Track Edition,” wrote Nguyen in the description of his 30-second video. “What do you think?”
Shot on a Sony FS5 camcorder and edited on Adobe Premiere Pro, the results are nothing short of what a commercial for the RC F Track Edition could resemble.
Every last bit of this right-hand-drive version of the RC F Track Edition is covered, from pans and closeups of the red-and-black interior, to the car itself winding through the highways outside of Palm Springs, California, all backed by Kendrick Lamar’s “X” from the soundtrack of the 2018 box-office smash Black Panther.
We know the RC F Track Edition likely won’t have much of an ad campaign beyond the 90-second intro video Lexus commissioned a few months ago. But if it did, it would (or should) be definitely something along the lines of like what Nguyen created, followed by a fade to a black card or two and a voiceover extolling the $97,675 price tag along with the line “Available at select Lexus dealers.” We’re just wondering when our favorite luxury brand will give Nguyen a call, though. We’d certainly love to see what he could do for the UX or the 30th anniversary of the ES and LS.
